Pics would help, I have grown big bud and now am groing ww and they do have big fan leaves. You shouldn't remove fan leaves, they are the growing factories of the plant. you could get some cfl's and place them to the side of the plant to help.

I grow the widow, when I first started with it I chopped the fan leaves. She didn't like that, I just tuck them back if they get in the way, supercropping seems to help my strain get around them a bit. Good Luck

Man, cut those suckers off!! I prune my leaves all the way through my grow. Not much during veg stage, granted. But as they go to flower, which yours are very close to, you can trim the fan leaves as they get in the way. Not all of them and don't go crazy, but it sounds like you would get more benefit of cutting it than leaving it. And, of course, pics always help.

It is not wise to cut fan leaves, there are many ppl who suggest dong so but my opinion is that the plant puts them out to help the growth, they are the factories of the plant, they help the grow. imo you shouldn't put alum foil under plant, it tends to concentrate (spelling? ) hot spots on your plants.
